The Joseph Rank Trust was established in June 2002. It represents an
amalgamation of a number of charities established by the
late Mr. Joseph Rank (1854 - 1943), or members of his family,
during the period from October 1918 to April 1942. The Trust is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee.

We are an independent Christian grant-maker and work with all Christian denominations in the United Kingdom. The principal object of the Trust is "to advance the Christian Faith" - to further the Kingdom of God.

The original Trusts represented a practical expression of the strong Christian beliefs of their founder and his desire
to advance the Christian faith and to help the less fortunate members of society.

Today the Trustees of the Trust seek to continue the work
and generosity of Joseph Rank by pursuing specific areas
of interest.
